GEORGE W. KISINGER, OF DANVILLE, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR OF TVO-THIRDS TO FRANK PrKISSINGER, OF SAME PLACE, AND JOSEPH WV. DUNHAM,

. LAMP-FILLING ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 358,422, dated February 22, 1887. Application filed May 18, 1886. Serial No. 202,512. (No model.)

To all whom it nut/y concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. KISINGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Danville, in the county of Vermilion and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Filling Attachments; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

I 5 My invention has relation to improvements in lamp-filling attachments, the object. being to provide a device which can be readily attached to any lamp, and by means of which the lamp may be readily filled without removing the burner; to these ends the'novelty consists in the particular features hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawing I have shown a view of a lamp-burner provided with my improvement,

part being shown in section and part in side elevation. 4

Referring to said drawing, A is an ordinary lamp-burner,and B the usual base of the same. 0 is my attachment, which is placed between 0 the burner A and its-base B, as shown. It consists of a main body, 0, and an L-shaped feed-pipe,O The body 0 has circular openings in its top and bottom, and from these openings the annular flanges D D depend.

The upper flange, D, extends about half-way to the bottom of the b0dy,thereby leaving an opening, E, through which the oil passes. The body 0 is also provided with an internallyscrew-threaded nipple, F, which projects from 0 its side, as shown. The horizontal arm of the L-shaped feed-pipe O enters this nipple and is held by it, being provided with external screw-threads which mesh with the internal screw-threads of the nipple. The vertical arm of the feed-pipe is slightly tapered, the upper 5 end being the larger. This tapered or funnelshaped construction of the vertical arm aids the feedingof the oil, and also enables the pipe to hold a plug or stopper,G.

In use the external screw-threads of the depending flange D are made to engage the internal screw-threads of the base B, and the external screw-threads of the lower portion of the burner made to engage the internal screwthreads of the depending flange D, the attach- 5 5 ment being thus secured in position. The l..- shaped feed-pipe is adjusted to the proper point according to the diameter of the burner, and the oil is fed through the said pipe into the main body, passing through the opening E, and thence down into the lamp.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

The combination, with the lamp-burner and its base, of the cylindrical body 0, secured to and between the burner and base and having an internal]y-screw-threaded nipple projected from its pipe, and an Lshaped feed-pipe having a vertical tapered arm and an externally- 7o.

screw-threaded horizontal arm-which engages the internally-screw-threaded nipple on the body O, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE V. KISINGEE.
